Tunisia fires coach mid-World Cup after being decimated by Sweden

The Tunisian men’s soccer team dropped their first match against Sweden in the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Sunday, and it appeared to have a reverberating effect across the squad.

Tunisia fired coach Sabri Lamouchi on Monday after the 5-1 loss. Hervé Renard was appointed the coach for the remainder of the World Cup. The Tunisian soccer federation said Renard’s deal will only cover the next matches in the tournament and a longer-term deal will be discussed later.
